بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْغِيبَةِWhat is Reported Regarding Backbiting
Hadith 1814
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَيَّادٍ ، أَنَّ الْمُطَّلِبَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَنْطَبٍ الْمَخْزُومِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا الْغِيبَةُ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنْ تَذْكُرَ مِنَ الْمَرْءِ مَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ "، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ حَقًّا ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا قُلْتَ بَاطِلًا فَذَلِكَ الْبُهْتَانُ "
It is narrated from Matlub bin Abdullah bin Hantab Makhzumi that a man asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: What is backbiting? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "To mention something about someone which, if he hears it, he would dislike." He said: O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him! Even if it is true? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If it is a lie, then it is slander."
